Grease is the word!

All you aspiring theatre stars, start practising your acting skills. Ace Productions is auditioning for their soon-to-be launched musical, Grease. The 1971 classic by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey focussed on social issues like teenage pregnancy and gang violence.

The organisers are looking for actors, singers and dancers for the remake of the musical. Says Raell Padamsee, director, Ace Productions, “Mumbai has enormous amounts of young talentwhich lacks a showcasing platform. We are looking for a cast of around 100 young adults. We also plan to cast talented people from our NGO, Create Foundation.”

People who’d like to give it a shot must prepare a minute of a song, dance or act for the audition.

“It would be great if they have some prior training, but even if they don’t, we’ll provide them with the required expertise,” says Padamsee.
